Patent AU-618566-B2 (AU)
Title: Microporous filaments and fibers, process of making of same, and articles made therefrom
Inventor: HOWARD ROBERT E
IPC: H01M50/491
Filed: 1988-12-20
Granted: 1992-01-02
Abstract: Fibers and filaments of an ultrahigh molecular weight polyolefin that have a void volume greater than about 20% and are wettable. Wettability is imparted to the fibers and filaments by incorporating a filler into the composition that is hygroscopic, has a particle size less than about 10 microns in diameter and a surface area greater than about 30 square meters per gram. The preferred fillers are those that contain surface silanol groups. The fibers and filaments are formed by the process of forming a mixture of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyolefin, filler and plasticizer, metering the mixture to an extruder, heating and kneading the blend in the extruder, conveying the extrudate to a spinneret-type die, expressing the extrudate through the die openings to form fibers or filaments, and extracting at least a portion of the extractable plasticizer to provide the desired porosity. The fibers and filaments may be formed into woven and nonwoven webs by airlaying and wetlaying techniques. Such webs are particularly useful as a battery separator.

Abstract: A system concept and the components integrated therein for storing useful and control information as well as feature items, general components for data flow control of all components integrated in the system concept as well as special components for data flow and process control of interface systems for laser-beam recorders permit handling of useful and control information as well as feature items independently of physical music/data carriers within premastering and the production of glass masters (mastering) in CD plants. All the various types of information are stored in on-line compatible mass storages and automatically transferred into the sectors calling for the information concerned by general data flow control components. Requests for information can be generated manually or automatically. The time needed to transfer to the requesting sectors or machines is shortened, the premastering expense reduced, the mastering actions automated with the aid of special control components and considerably speeded up as compared to conventional methods by using a network as the carrier medium.

Title: Process for the treatment of waste water containing ammonia
Inventor: DIJKMAN HENDRIK
IPC: B01D53/58
Filed: 1999-07-13
Granted: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A process is described for the biological treatment of waste water containing ammonia, wherein the waste water is treated with sludge containing nitrifying bacteria in an aerated reactor, applying a sludge retention time in the reactor which favours nitrite-producing bacteria over nitrate-producing bacteria. The process is characterised by applying a hydraulic retention time in a continuously operated reactor, which is shorter than the sludge retention time as a result of part of the sludge being separated from the reactor effluent and being returned to the reactor. The performance of the nitrification is further improved by applying low oxygen and nitrite concentrations.
